Vienna – Two days after losing the World Cup final 1-0 against Portugal in Doha, there was a big welcome party for Austria’s U17 national team at the ÖFB campus in Vienna-Aspern. In front of almost 1,000 fans in the small stadium, Johannes Moser, Jakob Pokorny and Co. were once again celebrated with a big celebration, and even before that, the association’s leadership offered words of praise. ÖFB supervisory board chairman Josef Pröll, for example, spoke of a “great moment for Austrian football”.
